Free weights in the gym have 362 times more bacteria than toilet seats - Telegrafi - Telegrafi

A recent study has found that gym equipment is full of harmful bacteria, posing health risks to gym goers.

Researchers from FitRated collected samples from 27 gym equipment and found more than one million microbes per square inch on each piece of equipment.

Some of these bacteria that can cause skin infections and antibiotic-resistant gram-negative rods were discovered on treadmills, exercise bikes and free weights.

In particular, free weights contained 362 times more germs than a toilet seat, while treadmills had 74 times more bacteria than a public bathroom faucet.

The study points out that bacteria thrive on gym equipment due to the frequent use of it by many people. Despite many gyms providing disinfectant wipes, users often neglect to clean equipment before and after use.

Experts recommend disinfecting machines, practicing good hygiene, avoiding touching your face and washing your hands thoroughly to reduce exposure to germs. For more safety, it is also advisable to change into gym clothes immediately after training. /Telegraph/
